JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

Using Young's double slit experiment, a monochromatic light of wavelength \(5000\,\mathring A\) produces fringes of fringe width \(0.5 \,mm\). If another monochromatic light of wavelength \(6000\,\mathring A\) is used and the separation between the slits is doubled, then the new fringe width will be ............... \(mm\)

  1. A \(0.5\)
  2. B \(1.0\)
  3. C \(0.6\)
  4. D \(0.3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Fringe width \(\beta=\frac{ D \lambda}{ d }\) \(\lambda_{1}=5000 \,\mathring A\) \(\beta_{1}=\frac{ D }{ d }\left(5000 \times 10^{-10}\right)=5 \times 10^{-4} \,m\)......\((I)\) \(\beta_{2}=\frac{ D }{(2 d )}\left(6000 \times 10^{-10}\right)= x \text { (let) }\).....\((II)\)…
